A millions-strong Ork horde has invaded an Imperial Forge World, one of the planet-sized factories where the war machines for humanity’s never ending battle for survival are created. Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world.

As a WH40k fan I'm definitely buying it, (already pre-ordered 2 months ago), so I was wondering if anyone else is going to buy the game. Both coop and multiplayer look cool, it's rare to see a good hack'n'slash (with guns) these days.

I'll be picking this up. Sounds interesting, if they get it right with the whole mix of close quaters/ranged gameplay then the multiplayer should be sweet. :)

I can't tell. Is it an FPS or RTS?

Its an action game, its not an RTS.

I'm guessing its FPS/ThirdPS.

Great, now you have to find the nearest ancient ghetto. To fight Da Green Boyz. Your bolter better be firing real rounds, 'cause they'll be firing real glocks at you...

After that head to the closest zoo and fight vile hideous beasts of the Maw. Especially penguins.

And finally, you should travel to the Eye of Terror and defeat the Dark William of the Gates. He rests in his Valley of Silicon.

After the quest is complete, return for a reward.

I'm too fat for that armor irl, can't do.

[Senyu]

Liking the Dynasty Warriors feel to this.

Though I'm still waiting for the right 40k game that really captures the dark gory and wartorn universe it is.

Just played the demo. Really fun. Think, Gears of War.

GoW is yet > WH40k:SM. I mean it's the thrid time I see a good title released totally raw! Crysis 2, F3AR, WHSM... "More moneyz, Less working" is a bad concept.


P.S.
YOU HEAR ME PS2 DEVS?!!!!!
"More moneyz, Less working" is a bad concept!!!

Do not release the game in the raw state. Damn it, don't even release the beta before you go over it yourselves few more times after you think it's ready!

[Graywolves]

I LOVE THIS GAME!


thewolf03 on steam btw

[Lonehunter]

It is indeed pretty sweet. I was fine with the single player but just trying multiplayer was crazy fun the first game.

[NewSith]

To make it clear - most of my concern are regarding MP.

Singleplayer is awesome...

[Lartnev]

I was actually impressed by the fact that randomly slashing away leaves you the floor quipping about the Emperor of Mankind. You have to think about each thrust and choosing when to execute and when to get out of Dodge.

Hoping co-op in October brings new missions for more gameplay fun :)

singleplayer was epic

Well despite how I ever relish the 40k IP, I have to admit that not even my seated 'fanboism' could curtail my utter disappointment with this game. 0 replay value which is further plagued with a dilapidated mp, this really isn't worth full retail price of other games which actually possess replay credentials.

For starters the alleged "epic" campaign wasn't quite so, granted it is the best part of the game by far and it had its sway for awhile with juicy executions and general dismemberment bliss but after awhile its visceral combat parallels the ending of the game which to summarize amounts to a last stand against some waves with an anti climatic boss which devolves into a QTE after which you are further slighted with a 'to be continued' ending to boot, needless to say that's not truly awe inspiring at all. Granted yes it had its moments that I liked it up till this point such as defending the Titan.


Last and yes the least is the archaic arcade pvp which supports only a mere 16 players which is just an atrocity by today's standards (well unless you're a console based kiddie) not to mention non existent dedicated servers furthers this dismay. The final nail in its coffin, they shipped it with 5 maps to play on and all of which say 1 are devoid of any dynamic layout that you'll need in mp with a game like this.

Sadly it seems the last glimmer of hope for this games seemingly bleak future lies with this coined "co-op" that they intend to add in Oct. Just FYI this coop is ostensible in title it shalt be a co-op for the campaign just an added mp game mode basically.

LOL. The zen-like calm on his face like a "Hindu cow" as said by Tyler Durden in Fight Club.

[Firefly]

Yes. I deliberately necro'd this thread, just to show off my work-in-progress.

[Maarvy]

I loved this game , sure it has flaws especialy the half assed mp options . Never the less it took 100 + hrs on my steam acc .

Well recomended if you can pick it up cheap .

[ikon]

im still occasionally jumping in mp cause its so epic.

[Vash02]

The intoduction to the singleplayer was amazing, the graphics and the shots were also amazing. Though the story needed a bit of work and the gameplay didnt just need to be hack and slash.

[Firefly]

Since someone missed the coolest aspect of this necro'd thread...
